Our fun weekend began Friday evening when our grands stayed with us while their Mommy & Daddy went out to celebrate their 12th anniversary. They picked up Everly later & Emma & Ethan spent the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday we all went to my hometown to celebrate my Aunt Norma & Uncle Earl's 65th anniversary.</div>

Uncle Earl is my mother's brother. He is the only remaining sibling of the 3. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reaching this milestone is rather rare & something to treasure. </div>

My cousin, Leslie & her husband Kyle came all the way from Texas. Leslie is the daughter of my Mother's sister, Dorothy. So good to see them. It has been many years since we've seen each other.</div>

Purging feels so good, but I haven't been able to do MAJOR purging because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Earlier this month my sister, Mary came for a 4 day visit. She is a pro at purging & organizing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday morning the purging project began in our office/library/craft room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I woke up I heard Mary stirring around. She had already moved everything out of the closet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We worked all day & got rid of a bunch of stuff/junk. I think we made 3 trips to Goodwill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I even said goodbye to this cute little lamp that I used in my classroom for years. I hope whoever finds it at Goodwill will enjoy it as much as I did.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
More purging happened on Friday & Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Several more trips to Goodwill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, all the closets upstairs are organized. Sunday afternoon Bob & I took 5 more bags to Goodwill.</div>

I had a super fun day on Monday with Emma & Ethan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their mommy finished Christmas shopping while we played.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kiddos helped me make a list of 10 things to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the 10 items was the Santa project. They counted all the Santas in the house. After counting they found a total of 61 Santas. Most of those were on the 2 Christmas trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, they created a Santa mask with a paper plate, construction paper, cotton balls & glue. They had a blast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did finish all 10 fun things on the list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday was another fun day. I went to their school to watch the Christmas program. The sweet sound of children singing is so inspiring. </div>

Brothers and sisters:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rejoice in the Lord always.</div>

The Lord is near.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
make your requests known to God.</div>

Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.</div>
